Rodriguez et al. [74] tested the feasibility of combustion
of pulverized biomass in a rotary burner, a technique which
is normally used for gaseous fuels. Tests with a pilot-scale
burner (rated at 1 t fuel per hour) showed that it operated
over a wide range of excess air and ensured high completeness
and stability of combustion with rind-fibre pulp and
bagasse, without the need for any supplementary fuel. The
burner can be operated on solid (pulp, bagasse or sawdust)
as well as on gaseous or liquid fuels.
